Here are 3 possible solutions. Good luck.
1. Drink 16 oz of any kind of fluid such as water, tea, juice etc in a 15 min period. This will raise the b/p about 20 points systolic for about two hrs. I've had to do that at times.
2.) Take your b/p med with your breaksfast making sure you have about 2 tsp of some type of fat with the food. Taking the med about 1/2 through the meal probably will work best. The fat & perhaps some fiber in the meal will delay digestion in the stomach so that the med doesn't get into the blood so fast causing low b/p.
3.) Switch to another med which doesn't get into the blood so fast.
